For those who want to try mining with Ubuntu (command line) with a card with 4 GB of RAM (in my case it is a GeForce GTX 1650), you can follow this short guide and you will be able to do it.
This is my configuration (but I think it can be adapted to any distro):
- Ubuntu 22.04 server (running in a Proxmox VM with Passthrough enabled)
- GTX 1650 video card
- Unmineable.com pool (https://unmineable.com)
make sure the video card is seen by the system
nvidia-smi
you should see something like:
if everything is ok we download RIGEL from this path
https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releases
As of this writing the latest version is rigel-1.23.1-linux.tar.gz
on your /home directory:
create miner folder
mkdir miner
change folder
cd miner
upload in it the file rigel-1.23.1-linux.tar.gz
uncompress file
tar -xvf rigel-1.23.1-linux.tar.gz
Now you need to create the command line to start mining.
In my case, I mine on a”unmineable.com” pool.
Keep in mind that there aren’t many algorithms that work on older cards like mine with 4 GB. I found this algorithm (which RIGEL supports and unmineable.com accepts):
xelishashv3
command line with this algo and explain
./rigel \
-a xelishashv3 \
-o stratum+tcp://xelishash.unmineable.com:3333 \
-u XRP:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
-w miner_name \
-p x
-a=used algorithm
-o=pool address (given by unmineableminer.com) for this algorithm
-u=COIN:your_address_on_unmineable (in my case I’m mining XRP)
-w=miner name (as you prefer)
-p=x (let as it is)
If all goes well, when you run the command in a shell, you’ll see RIGEL running and the connection/video card settings appear.
If you launch the program from a shell, when you close the shell, the task will also close, thus stopping the PC from mining.
To avoid this, I recommend using this very useful command:
before startin RIGEL COMMAND
screen -S miner
launch RIGEL with the command line we saw earlier.
then, to exit, press
CTRL+A
then
D key
you’ll see that you exit the screen with RIGEL running, and you can close the shell, leaving the computer in the mining activity.
When you want to reconnect to the activity, you’ll need re-open another session on your server and type
screen -r miner
and you’ll find yourself back in the running program instance
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO USE LOLMINER, which also works with the GTX1650, (but with my cryptocurrency, it was slower)
Use the same method of creating a folder on your home page to download LOLMINER.
The lolminer version that uses the algorithm that still supports 4GB of RAM (KHEAVYHASH KAS) is 1.76.
You can download it by this command line:
wget https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/download/1.76/lolMiner_v1.76_Lin64.tar.gz
Unzip into the folder with
tar -xvf lolMiner_v1.76_Lin64.tar.gz
And this is the command line to launch it
